Artist Spotlight: Sideara St. Claire (SIDEARA), pictured on the cover, wears a dirtbike helmet she crafted entirely of lace and wire. This being Sideara’s first go at a new technique, the process took over 45 hours of wirework and hand sewing. Obsessed with the craft of experimentation, it seems as though anything can turn into a hat under her meticulous hands.

Hatmaking, also known as millinery, found Sideara by accident. She woke up one day surrounded by hats she’d made, piled under her bed and hung across her walls. This led her to seek out specific knowledge and become obsessed with the dying art form, kept alive today by those willing to learn from the past.

Photographer Hal’s () series ‘Flesh Love’ uses vacuum packaging as the medium to unite the bodies of people in love. These images, part of ‘Flesh Love Returns,’ show couples shot in their most meaningful places: where they first met, the bedroom they share, the restaurant of their first date. There, they’re sealed together in the place where they believe their love is most dense.

“I am currently seeking new dimensions in portrait photography by challenging the majestic theme of mankind, defined through love.”

Surrounded by three pools holding nearly 30,000 gallons of water, hundreds of ceramic bowls
are cast adrift, clinking together to create bell-like chimes.

French artist, musician, and composer Céleste Boursier-Mougenot () first conceptualized the idea for ‘clinamen’ almost 30 years ago, in
1997. The first time it was exhibited at a museum, it was fabricated with everyday inflatable pools and surrounded by simple folding chairs. Now, it fills the Park Avenue Armory’s Wade Thompson Drill Hall in its largest iteration to date.

The installation explores the beauty of paths shaped by chance and indeterminacy found in
atoms.

Céleste Boursier-Mougenot’s installation ‘clinamen’ is now on view at Park Avenue Armory () through Thursday, August 9.

Artist Spotlight: Ghanaian photographer Derrick Ofosu Boateng’s () world is built from color as language. Derrick floods his images with saturated yellows,
greens, reds, and blues, hues that echo those found on his country’s flag and hold deeper spiritual meaning across African culture, until the frame sits somewhere
between photograph and painting.

In his book ‘Hueism’, the images unfold like an index of hue, each shade paired with the traditional African proverb or poem that sparked it.

“A big part of my purpose is to shift how the world views Africa and to help re-educate
people on the richness, depth, and true essence of African culture.”

Images from ‘Hueism’, Derrick’s debut photobook.

‘If They Asked for Nudes’ is a series that takes place in Miami, across from a n**e beach where photographer Sofi Perazzo () grew up watching from afar but never dared to enter.

“What began in 2019 as a quiet, instinctive return to documentary photography—driven by curiosity and a meditative state of simply absorbing—turned into an exploration of self-acceptance, liberation, and how we perceive the human body. every frame was about composition, color, humor, and the quiet irony of freedom, while also honoring the vulnerability I felt as a fly on the wall. it questions beauty norms, embraces aging, and challenges what we turn away from, while at the same time grounding me in my own authenticity—marking the beginning of my style, my palette, and the way I still see today.”

Through the line of tension felt amongst viewers dialing into the World Cup, there bleeds an overwhelming sense of joy. Whether on opposing ends of the field, connection is threaded through a celebration of culture, of people, of community. Brazilian artist, designer, and illustrator Rafaela Mascaro () looks to capture a fragment of the colorful blend of emotions and energy that rises when we all gather.

“This series was inspired by my lifelong passion for soccer and the memories of watching matches with my father while growing up in São Paulo, Brazil. Our shared love for the Sport Club Corinthians Paulista team became a way of connecting, and these works celebrate the joy, community, and emotions that make soccer such a universal language.”

Different angles of celebratory scenes from a week that felt like a fever dream. The brought home their first NBA title in over 50 years, Mayor Mamdani threw the city its first-ever championship parade, and New York completely lost it. Whatever version of the city you saw, whatever corner you were on, chaotic or wholesome, it felt like the entire world crowded into one block to celebrate🗽

Artist Spotlight: Designer ILONA’s () world stitches together fragments of trauma, identity, and memory. Resistant to categorization and refusing to be limited to mere “fashion,” her work is a doctoral practice in its own right. Each garment is a longitudinal study of the self and psyche.

Out of all her creations, she’d wish to be buried in her pink lamé silk taffeta french lace HospitalBride gown.

Selections from photographer and filmmaker Dani d’Ingeo’s () debut photography book, ‘New Order.’

Arriving in London in 2016 for education, they found passion in documenting LGBTQIA+ communities around them. Mainly using 35mm compact film cameras, Dani captures the rich fabric of the q***r experience from an insider point of view, the overlapping of simple mundanity, tender intimacy and nightlife.

“With this project I embarked on a symbolic trip back to the motherland I felt rejected by as a child, in order to establish a new, renovated connection with my roots by depicting q***r bodies and individuals flourishing in that environment. The archived holiday imagery, all shot against the idyllic Southern Italian coast, was an attempt to honour existence outside of metropolitan settings and to expand the framework of the q***r visual legacy. I believe that plural, uplifting representation offers social and political change and can empower marginalised communities. Celebrating self determination and visibility in a varied array of spaces can be a testament for the pursuit of q***r happiness in any given geographical scenery.”

Released and published via S**T Press in 2022.

‘Fly the Coop: New York Says Goodbye to Dinosaur’ by New York-based photographer Jared Thomas Tapy (). An adjacent writer and archivist, Jared documents the streets, people, and neighborhoods of the city he calls home. His work frames a portrait of New York in the present tense.

“There’s something that happens when a city falls in love with a piece of public art. It stops being art and starts being a symbol. Dinosaur was that for New York. I was there on the last day not just to photograph a sculpture, but to document a city saying goodbye to something it didn’t know it needed. For each New Yorker, Dinosaur meant something different. A collection of ideas about one of the city’s most prominent members of society.”

‘Bloom,’ born from a spontaneous cross-country drive, a short film by Vivian Kim ()

“Bloom was filmed five years ago when I had just started directing. There’s a naivety to the piece that I find endearing and true. There had to be an inner confidence and belief that what we were filming was worth our time, and a story worth capturing, even if it wasn’t spelled out explicitly. It’s easy to look outwards as a creative, at what others are doing, at what we could become more of. This process had me doing the opposite; I had to accept who I am and who I was, because I couldn’t change the perspective that had already been captured. All I could do was to craft a structure around it and put it out into the world.”

‘Bloom’ is now available to watch on Vimeo. Click the link in ’s bio to watch.

Pausing against the ordinary. By photographer, José De Rocco ()

“This group of images is part of a much larger body of work connected to my photographic practice over the
years, by now, nearly 20.

I have always been interested in the strangeness of the ordinary, of the everyday—how to escape routine
through a sense of wonder that struggles to fade, and which, with the help of photography, I try to hold onto.”

Artist Spotlight: For Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist Anastasia Pilepchuk (), mask making begins with the need to give form to something internal, untranslatable into language. A ritual of slowing down, following texture, letting form build itself through process. Drawing from the body, natural patterns, and material repetition, her work sits
at the threshold between object and transformation.

Fast forward 1000 years and she says, “Maybe the face itself becomes a kind of interface,
something that shifts depending on context. In a way, closer to what masks already are.”

BALLET by Thibaut Grevet ()

“This project sums up everything I’d love to do. From the athletics side, which echoes my background in shooting skate, to the art and fashion dimension — an opportunity to explore new techniques, experimenting with how Gjon Mili used synchronized flash, and interpreting it in my own way through a new approach.

What’s amazing about dancers is the way they’re able to use their body to fit the best photographic aspects — position their fingers, hands or shoulders, know exactly how much tension to put in the leg. They understand how the body reacts through the audience’s eyes, and the same can be said about the camera.

At its core, the project reflects every aspect of performance: preparation, repetition, training, concentration, and the calm before the big moment.”
